HR 1868 - Birthright Citizenship Act

I have a little say about what I think the future of Tea Party activism is, and as I was doing some investigation about the various TP factions, I found an interesting angle which is being used to characterize them. It is the extent to which various leaders or members of Congress and/or Tea Parties support HR 1868 which is being essentially called a white nationalist piece of legislation. Not having read the bill, I present it for your consideration.

This bill would eliminate birthright citizenship for children born to undocumented immigrants in the U.S. Current U.S. law automatically recognizes any person born on American soil as a natural born citizen. Under the bill, only children with at least one parent who is a U.S. citizen, a legal permanent resident, or an undocumented immigrant serving in the military would be considered citizens.

This bill essentially murders the anchor baby. I think this is what certain of my political adversaries have been going on about. It might have been simple enough to say 'HR 1868', which is currently nowhere in the legislative process. Will it be awakened?
